I got my first computer in 2010 and started bending software to my will soon after. Game bots and addons, the kind of code nobody asks you to write. Around 2021 the interest turned from making machines do tricks to making them useful: data science, then AI in products people rely on.
Today I'm CTO of a small team where I'm the only full-time engineer, which means I own the architecture, the infrastructure, the AI pipeline and the release process, and I turn what the research and pedagogy side needs into systems that hold up. I also still teach at HEIA-FR, which is the fastest way I know to find out which of your convictions survive contact with a room full of students.
The questions I care about are rarely purely technical: build it or buy it, how far to trust the machine, what to teach someone who will work beside one. That's what the journal is for.
